Acque (original)Acque (translation)
L’acqua che passa fra il fango di certi canali The water that passes through the mud of certain canals
Tra ratti sapienti, pneumatici e ruggine e vetri Between wise rats, tires and rust and glass
Chissà se è la stessa lucente di sole o fanali Who knows if it's the same bright as the sun or the headlights
Che guarda oleosa passare rinchiusa in tre metri That looks oily pass locked up in three meters
Si può stare ore a cercare se c'è in qualche fosso You can spend hours looking for if there is any ditch
Quell’acqua bevuta di sete o che lava te stesso That water drunk with thirst or that washes yourself
O se c'è nel suo correre un segno di un suo filo rosso Or if there is a sign of her red thread in her running
Che leghi un qualcosa a qualcosa, un pensiero a un riflesso That binds something to something, a thought to a reflection
Ma l’acqua gira e passa non sa dirmi niente But the water turns and passes, it can't tell me anything
Di gent e me o di quest’aria bassa Of gent and me or of this low air
Ottusa e indifferente cammina e corre via Dull and indifferent she walks and runs away
Lascia una scia e non gliene frega niente Leave a trail and they don't give a damn
E cade su me che la prendo e la sento filtrare And it falls on me that I take it and I feel it filter
Leggera, infeltrisce i vestiti, intristisce i giardini Light, it felts clothes, saddens the gardens
Portandomi odore d’ozono, giocando a danzare Bringing me the smell of ozone, playing dance
Proietta ricordi sfiniti di vecchi bambini Projects worn out memories of old children
Colpendo implacabile il tetto di lunghi vagoni Relentlessly hitting the roof of long wagons
Destando annoiato interesse negli occhi di un gatto Arousing bored interest in a cat's eyes
Coprendo col proprio scrosciare lo spacco dei tuoni Covering the crack of thunder with its own roar
Che restano appesi un momento nel cielo distratto Who hang in the sky for a moment distracted
E l’acqua passa e gira e il colore poi stinge And the water passes and turns and the color then fades
Cos'è che mi respinge e che m’attira? What is it that repels me and attracts me?
Acqua come sudore, acqua fetida e chiara Water like sweat, fetid clear water
Amara, senza gusto né colore Bitter, without taste or color
Ma l’acqua gira e passa e non sa dirmi niente But the water turns and passes and cannot tell me anything
Di gente e me o di quest’aria bassa Of people and me or of this low air
Ottusa e indifferente cammina e corre via Dull and indifferent she walks and runs away
Lascia una scia e non gliene frega niente Leave a trail and they don't give a damn
E mormora, urla, sussurra, ti parla, ti schianta And it murmurs, screams, whispers, talks to you, smashes you
Evapora in nuvole cupe rigonfie di nero It evaporates into dark clouds swollen with black
E cade, rimbalza e si muta in persona od in pianta And it falls, bounces and changes in person or plant
Diventa di terra, di vento, di sangue e pensiero It becomes of earth, wind, blood and thought
Ma a volte vorresti mangiarla, sentirtici dentro But sometimes you want to eat it, feel yourself in it
Un sasso che l’apre affonda, sparisce e non sente A stone that opens it sinks, disappears and does not hear
Vorresti scavarla, afferarla, lo senti che è il centro You would like to dig it, grab it, you feel it is the center
Di questo ingranaggio continuo, confuso e vivente Of this continuous, confused and living cog
Acque del mondo intorno, di pozzanghere e pianto Waters of the world around, of puddles and tears
Di me che canto al limite del giorno Of me singing on the edge of the day
Tra il buio e la paura del tempo e del destino Between the dark and the fear of time and destiny
Freddo assassino della notte scura Cold killer of the dark night
Ma l’acqua gira e passa e non sa dirmi niente But the water turns and passes and cannot tell me anything
Di gente e me o di quest’aria bassa Of people and me or of this low air
Ottusa e indifferente cammina e corre via Dull and indifferent she walks and runs away
Lascia una scia e non gliene frega nienteLeave a trail and they don't give a damn
